(ver. 1)
Foster The People
[Intro]
A Am D G B Em
Em A D G B Em B D Bm

[Verse 1]
Bm             A
Well Mr. Jones took a terrible fall
Am                               D                      G
  He had built the stairs but he hadn't counted them all...
B             Em              B   D
 And the lihts... and the pain... said it would rain...
Bm                 A   Am
  He said it would snow
          D                              G
He always said that, wherever he would go...
B                            Em              B   D Bm
 And he would write down his thoughts on the wall

[Pre Chorus 1]
                    A           Am
Something about the power of it all
D           G              B
Call if you care for me at all
Em                     B             D
  I've been surrounded by this loneliness
A F#         B                            Em
    And If I could I would do it all over again

B                       D        Bm
And I would be calm and wait for you
A                   Am         D                G
 To show me all the things that no one else can do
A F#    B                                               Em
    Now what you need, what you got, what you want from me
             F#   B                          D       Bm
I've got the wild inside to conquer and then I'll be free

[Hook 1]
Bm       A              Am
If I was free, if I was free
Am                         D                 G
I would fly in between the moons of consciousness
B                                   Em
 And ride on the back of a shooting star
    F#m             Bm       A Am
And float into your arms

[Verse 2]
Am                                  D G
And when he woke up, he went outside... and changed the light bulb
B                Em                                        B D Bm
 Figured out that  life was worth living when you could see
            A                    Am                       D       G
The doctor said they'd counseled him before and his tired mind of war

[Pre Chorus 2]
              F#  B                           Em
But he was at war with himself and he lost it all
F#          B                                 D         Bm
  He was at home now feeling the power of the crumbling wall

[Hook 2]
Bm A        Am
Oh,if I was free
Am                     D            G
I'd fly in between the moons of indolence
B                                       Em
 And I'd ride on the back of a shooting star
    F#m             Bm
And float into your arms
A        Am
If I was free
        D                           G
I'd let go of all the weight that's dragging me
B                          Em
 And never again and never again
             B                              Em
I put it all down and never again and never again

[Bridge]
Em G A
Aahhhh
A
Never again
Em G C
Aahhhh
Em G A
Aahhhh
C  G   D  A
Aa-ah, aa-ah
C  G   D  A
Aa-ah, aa-ah

[Verse 3]
                    Am
And he met God that day
                               D G
And God said, "Well, welcome in
                  B       Em B D Bm A Am
I've been waiting for you
            D
Your bed is warm
                G
Your sheets are made"

B Em D Bm

[Hook 3]
Bm        A         Am
Free, and I was free
                        D             G
I didn't even know that I'd been captured
B                                        Em
 But I remember the call, I remember the call
B                                D           Bm
 I remember when your voice came through the wall
          A               Am
And I was there and I was scared
                        D             G
I didn't even know that you were listening
B                                     Em
 And all those times I was shaking my head
B             D          Bm
 From all the things I'd said

[Outro]
A Am D G B Em B D Bm
Ahhh
